My main historical interests are the
social and cultural history of early modern Europe, particularly Britain,
with a special emphasis on Scottish history. My first book, The Uses of
Reform: 'Godly Discipline' and Popular Behavior in Scotland and Beyond,
1560-1610, was published in 1996 by E.J. Brill, and was the winner of
the 1997 Bainton Prize from the Sixteenth Century Studies Conference. It
is a study of the imposition of Reformed Protestantism in several
communities, mostly in the Scottish lowlands, viewed through the
perspective of the consistories (kirk sessions in Scotland), or "Calvinist
morals police." Currently I'm studying the history of crime and law
enforcement in early modern Britain. These sorts of details can be found
on my cv. When I am not practicing history, I
may be found cycling, playing softball or practicing music with the
House Popes, an eternally up-and-coming Akron
band. |
